Indonesia’s anti-terror campaign under fire (AP)

June 16th, 2010

FILE - In this March 3, 2010 file photo, police officers inspect the body of a suspected militant killed when he tried to escape a security checkpoint set up as part of Indonesian National Police crackdown on a potential cell of the Southeast Asian terrorist network Jemaah Islamiyah in Pidie, Aceh province, Indonesia. Though Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, has won praise for its crackdown on terrorism, the U.S.-trained and funded forces at the core of the fight are under mounting criticism for a startling kill-to-capture ratio: In the last year, one terror suspect has been killed for every four arrested, according to figures provided by the police. (AP Photo/Heri Juanda, File)AP - The anti-terror squad hurtled from a white van on a bustling street as their quarry — three terror suspects — stepped out of a taxi.
